Will Travel for Food

Does food speak to you? It may be a guilty pleasure, but the truth is that food is becoming an integral part of destination travel for many individuals, and in some cases people are beginning to travel to eat more than they are to see cultural sites. Here’s a look at Peter’s pastime as he flies around the world in search of good food, in search of understanding how people gain insights into foreign cultures through food, and the impact food tourism can have on the hospitality industry.
